Yaris Hatchback 1.3L
Styled by the designers at Toyota's European design studio ED2 and by the TMC design division, it features trends that are popular around the world. With short overhangs, it is stylish and contemporary. Add to that: Fun to drive
Design
There's something very European about the Toyota Yaris Hatchback, which makes its exterior design highly appealing. Perched on 15-inch wheels, the Yaris Hatchback portrays a refined, 21st-century go-kart to a tee: It's a small car and it doesn't try to hide that fact. That's perhaps the nicest thing about the Yaris design -- everything is proportional and what you would expect to find on a hatchback. From the squat front nose to the sculpted backside, this Toyota's got some serious style. It manages to catch your eye in all the right ways. For its European breeding and international good looks, the Yaris gets bonus marks.

Comfort
The Yaris is a fun car to drive mainly because of its size.
It is able to weave in and out of traffic, maneuvering in and out of sticky situations is a breeze, and parking is a joke. Also, its low curb
weight means that the seemingly small amounts of horsepower become immense, giving the car a great deal of pull.
It also offers a surprisingly comfortable ride, with great high-speed stability. The Yaris definitely has some sporty acceleration and the
handling to match. While it's not quite ready for the race circuit yet, as a daily driver, the Yaris is great. It's fun and functional, as
it's quite good on gas.
